On Having No Head: Cognition throughout Biological Systems (2016, background): “For example, leaves maintain stable temperature near their surfaces despite large fluctuations of temperature in the atmosphere (Helliker and Richter, 2008; Pincebourde and Woods, 2012).”
Warming decreases thermal heterogeneity of leaf surfaces: implications for behavioural thermoregulation by arthropods (2014, background): “Strikingly, little is known on the impact of environmental changes on the spatial heterogeneity of temperatures at very fine scales such as individual leaf surfaces despite the great diversity of organisms living in the leaf microhabitat (Pincebourde & Woods 2012).”
Thermal-safety margins and the necessity of thermoregulatory behavior across latitude and elevation (2014, unknown): “However, insects may also have greater access to small patches of shade than larger animals, such as cool microenvironments in crevices or the undersides of leaves where transpirational cooling may further reduce temperatures (36).”
Where do functional traits come from? The role of theory and models (2019, background): “The application of mechanistic niche modelling methods continues to rise, both in sophistication and taxonomic scope (Levy et al., 2017; Pincebourde & Woods, 2012; Riddell et al., 2019; Riddell & Sears, 2017), and general modelling packages are being developed (Kearney & Porter, 2019).”
How to assess Drosophila heat tolerance: Unifying static and dynamic tolerance assays to predict heat distribution limits (2019, background): “For example, it is known that leaf litter and foliage are important microclimates that allow animals to find cool and humid refuge (Pincebourde & Woods, 2012; Willmer, 1982), and dry habitats have fewer possibilities for refuges that are cooled by evaporation.”
